What you are looking at

Every photograph on this page is our own work, taken at the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Mehtab Bagh with guests who booked one of the packages on this site. None of it is stock, and none of it is from a different monument with the dome composited in — which is worth saying, because both are common in this market.

Almost all of it was shot in the first ninety minutes after the gates open. That is not a stylistic preference: by nine in the morning the marble reads as a flat white, the central path is full, and the positions these frames were taken from have thirty people standing in them. The quiet hour is the product.

The equipment in these frames — a tripod at the reflecting pool, a second lens for the inlay detail — only passes the security check because the photographer holds the Ministry of Tourism permit. A visitor carrying the same kit is turned back at the belt, which is the practical difference between these photographs and the ones you can take yourself.

Will my photographs look like these?

The locations and the light will, because they are fixed. The poses are directed on the day around what you are comfortable with — most guests have never been photographed professionally, and the frames people keep are usually the ones taken between poses.

How many of these do I get?

120 or more from a sunrise session, 200 or more from a couple session with 30 edited to your choice, 40 to 60 on the guide-and-photographer packages. All of them in full resolution, inside 48 hours.

Can I ask for a specific frame from this page?

Yes, and it helps. Send the photograph on WhatsApp when you book and we will build the morning around reaching that position while it is still empty.

Are these edited?

Colour and contrast, yes. We do not move the monument, remove crowds that were there, or replace skies — if a morning was foggy, the photographs look foggy, which is why the timing advice on this site is as blunt as it is.
